Why would they run into resource conflicts if the category is saved  
and a resource of the category is available?

I've already explained why, and Adam elaborated further on that.

I can envision some setups where it _might_ make sense (when there are  
really _large_ quantaties of equal objects, eg chairs in a conference  
room), but as Adam suggests this is really overkill and probably a  
different software altogether (inventory management).


Resources require a rework anyways. Its more likely that resources  
will become another SQL-view on top of the company table to enhance  
consistency with iCalendar. The 'kits' would probably become  
resource-'teams' quite naturally. Not sure how one would represent  
resource categories. We'll see once we actually implement it ...
